Famous quotes containing the word thought:

    Me of my lawful pleasure she restrained,
    And prayed me oft forbearance; did it with
    A pudency so rosy the sweet view on’t
    Might well have warmed old Saturn; that I thought her
    As chaste as unsunned snow.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
